Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Destroy the Canglan Kingdom

"Shh—"

Zong Yan quickly signaled Yang Lan to be quiet. Now Ye Xuan was like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting ’hit him!’ If the news reached Qin Jun’s ears, it would certainly not be good.

Ye Xuan’s transformation into a demon had already been reported back to the Yan Qing Sect, causing great anger. Although the news was sealed, Ye Xuan had already been removed from Yan Qing Sect’s disciples’ roster.

Because the incident was so significant, Yan Qing Sect didn’t need to investigate; the spies they had planted in the Nanzhuo Dynasty had sent word back well in advance.

Murong Xuan’s eyes flickered, and he subconsciously looked towards Qin Jun and the others on the Destiny Machine, but he quickly looked away.

After this interlude, the atmosphere among the three of them became somewhat strange, and they no longer continued their conversation.

Soon, the Destiny Machine left Bronze Pass, and it took almost half an hour for the entire army to exit Bronze Pass. The remaining soldiers watched their leaving figures with mixed feelings.

"Sigh, I really don’t know if it’s right or wrong."

"Actually, I want to follow Qin Jun too, but he is after all the enemy of our Nanzhuo Dynasty..."

"Stop dreaming. Qin Jun disrupted the Demonic Dao’s plans. He won’t live long!"

"Can’t you speak properly? Why did Qin Jun offend the Demonic Dao? It was all because he saved us!"

"Exactly, compared to the imperial court, Qin Jun has only shown kindness to us!"

Qin Jun couldn’t hear the quarrel at Bronze Pass, and even if he could, he wouldn’t care.

Upon leaving Bronze Pass, the Canglan Kingdom was not far off.

Back then, he had vowed to smash through the Canglan Kingdom, and he had not forgotten that promise to this day.

"Jia Xun!"

Qin Jun suddenly stood up and called out, and Jia Xun, who was meditating beside him, quickly got up and asked, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"What impact would it have on Qianyue Kingdom if I were to destroy Canglan Kingdom?"

Faced with Qin Jun’s question, Jia Xun was obviously taken aback.

Destroy the Canglan Kingdom?

This was something most officials of the Qianyue Kingdom could only dream of, but as both countries were weak, they could only cling to each other and form a superficial alliance. The oppression of Qianyue Kingdom by Canglan Kingdom had been increasing over the years, so Jia Xun too held a deep hatred towards Canglan Kingdom.

But how difficult it was to annihilate Canglan Kingdom.

Wait a moment...

Jia Xun’s eyes widened as he instinctively looked around at the sea of people, suddenly feeling energized as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Right, with Qin Jun’s current strength, he indeed possessed the power to obliterate Canglan Kingdom without fearing that Qianyue Kingdom would be left isolated and without support!

"With Your Highness’s current strength, it would only lead the kingdom to prosperity!"

Jia Xun hurriedly replied, his flattery coming across very naturally.

Qin Jun smiled slightly and said nothing more, but instead sat on the wooden couch and began to ponder, as Jia Xun started to fantasize about a bright future.

Seeing Qin Jun deep in thought, Evening Star grew even more relieved. The observant man could see Qin Jun’s growth, but just thinking about the Abyss Sect made it difficult for Evening Star to keep a smile on his face.

The nine lords of the Demonic Dao, the nine overlords of the entire Southern Domain’s Demonic Dao, any of whom could easily obliterate an Imperial Dynasty.

It was immensely difficult to confront the Abyss Sect relying solely on their power and that of Qianyue Kingdom.

...

Imperial Palace Peak.

"What? Qin Jun has left with an army of three hundred thousand?"

In the grand hall, Ao Wujian, clad in imperial robes, roared in anger. It was not Qin Jun’s departure that enraged him, but the fact that Qin Jun had taken an army of three hundred thousand with him.

He knew that Qin Jun had no troops of his own; clearly, he had drawn them from the Imperial Dynasty!

"Yes..." The servant kneeling below began to tremble, fearful of being vented upon by Ao Wujian.

Although he had not yet formally ascended the throne, Ao Wujian had already begun to refer to himself as the sovereign of the Nanzhuo Dynasty, and had even donned the imperial robes.

"Why was the news not promptly relayed?" Ao Wujian struggled to contain his anger as he asked; within the vast hall, only a handful of guards stood, making it feel desolate and barren.

The messenger trembled as he spoke, "The news was intercepted by the major families, and also, the Abyss Sect launched an attack on Bronze Pass two days ago."

"The Abyss Sect!"

Ao Wujian exclaimed, stunned as if struck by lightning.

...

Dusk fell, and the afterglow spread like firelight across the sky.

"Your Highness, up ahead is the Cliff Pass of the Canglan Kingdom!"

Jia Xun looked towards the city gates of Cliff Pass ahead, prompting Qin Jun to open his eyes. He did not rise but continued to sit on the wooden couch absorbing energy and practicing his technique.

It must be said that the Wheel of Fate was truly comfortable, with no sensation of bumps at all—an Earth Grade magical artifact indeed.

"Yuanba!"

Qin Jun suddenly spoke, and Li Yuanba, who was practicing next to him, turned to look at him with puzzlement.

"Shatter the Cliff Pass for me!"

Upon hearing Qin Jun’s order, Li Yuanba’s eyes lit up, and he leapt up in excitement.

"Chen Qingzhi!"

Qin Jun continued to call out. Next to the Wheel of Fate, Chen Qingzhi, who was in a smaller chariot, hurriedly kneeled toward Qin Jun, exclaiming, "Present!"

"Attack the Cliff Pass, execute all who resist, but spare those who surrender and lay down their arms!"

Chen Qingzhi was momentarily stunned, then promptly urged the White-robed Army to rush forward at breakneck speed.

Seven thousand White-robed cavalry surged forward, their momentum rivaling that of an army a hundred thousand strong.

Simultaneously, Li Yuanba leaped fiercely into the air, hurtling towards Cliff Pass like a cannonball. Despite being several kilometers away from Cliff Pass, Li Yuanba’s leaping power was terrifyingly immense, drawing gasps from tens of thousands of onlookers.

"Hahaha! Grandsons! Break through for me!"

Li Yuanba’s thunderous shout echoed throughout Cliff Pass. The Jin Peng Sledgehammer appeared in his hands in an instant, each looking like two great jars.

The soldiers atop Cliff Pass were chattering about the dark mass on the horizon, wondering what it was, when they heard Li Yuanba’s shout, scaring them almost out of their wits.

Before they could organize their defense, Li Yuanba smashed down with his hammer.

The sturdy city wall crumbled like paper under the strike of the Jin Peng Sledgehammer, and not only that, but even the ground itself shattered. From a distance, the walls seemed to explode, rocks flying and dust billowing, with soldiers blasted into the air—the sight was so spectacular it left onlookers speechless.

The White-robed Army that followed, though shocked as well, did not slow down; on the contrary, they increased their pace.

"Soldiers, charge! This is the White-robed Army’s first battle for His Highness. We must not disgrace ourselves!"

Chen Qingzhi shouted loudly, his voice filled with emotive force that invigorated the blood of the White-robed soldiers. They roared, and their invincible military spirit materialized into a tangible aura, enveloping them in a white mist, radiating extraordinary divine prowess.

"Yuanba is indeed the number one warrior of the present age, and the White-robed Army is a remarkable force rarely seen!"

Jia Xun stood next to Qin Jun, expressing his admiration. His praise was not flattery, but a genuinely heartfelt comment.

Li Yuanba might not be the strongest under Qin Jun’s command, but he was undoubtedly terrifying on the battlefield.

It was also Jia Xun’s first time witnessing the White-robed Army’s invincible spirit.

Qin Jun smiled without saying a word. His heart, however, was euphoric; there was a truly exhilarating sense of dominion in commanding armies in battle.

Just a single command could ignite a war!

One sentence could decide the life and death of a kingdom—that was power!

The others didn’t feel much; to them, a kingdom was no different from a province of the Imperial Dynasty. However, Xu Guiku looked at Qin Jun with a peculiar gaze.

Qin Jun at this moment, compared to his time in the Imperial Dynasty, was a completely different person—not arrogant or overbearing, but exuding the steady resolve and decisiveness of an emperor.
